That looks super easy to recreate. If you were to do it again would you include bushings?



I have thought a lot about the rear end. I have looked at your swap a million times. I will probably do something similar. I don't know though I kinda want it to look stock so I will probably make custom plate mounts.

I am in the process of finding a all-trac Camry to steel the rear end out of. They are the same as the GT-FOUR just 1" narrower on both sides. I kind of like the idea. I can run an crazier offset on the rear wheels.

There are Camry all-trac's on car-part.com all the time. I'm just having trouble finding a junk yard that will ship a pallet. Most junk yards only want like $200 for the whole rear subframe assembly with everything. They don't know what they have. They thinks its just a common Camry that there were millions made.

So far what I added.

lets see.

Engine ------------------------------------ $700.00
transmission with lsd and axles---------- $350.00 using a Solara e153. Found a e154f for $200 once. Kick my self everyday.
headers ----------------------------------- $60 using solid works and the plasma cutter and tubing from work.
decent clutch and flywheel--------------- $300 with wholesale discounts.
mounts parts ----------------------------- $50 with wholesale discounts and plasma cutter at work.
fluids -------------------------------------- $50 overstock from work.
ps pump and lines ----------------------- $50 Junkyard - car-part.com
Spare harness ---------------------------- $80 Junkyard - car-part.com
exhaust parts for mid pipe ---------------$100 wholesale discounts
rav4 ecu -----------------------------------$0 Comes with motor
pedal-------------------------------------- $0 Comes with motor

Total so Far : $1740.00

I know everyone doesn't have the hook ups like I do but there is always a good deal. Just got to be patient.

2GR's are going to get cheaper and cheaper everyday.

Wow dude. That's a lot of money. Are you building the block? Why so much? Thanks for the info. Let me know how she drives when your done. Should be a screamer.




I do solid works for work and I have a CNC plasma machine. I'm a fabricator. Headers are the easy part. It's always the wiring that I'm afraid of. Engine mounts seem easy. I figured I could do a full swap for about $2000 in total. Just need to find a E154F. I just wanted to see a AWD 2GRFE. They sound pretty epic with a good exhaust.

So I was thinking. The guys with 2Gen MR2's run the 2GRFE swap.. Those unfamiliar with the motor it's basically the 3.5L V6 out of a newer Camry/Avalon/RAV4/ES350....... It's a great motor. Stock power is around the 280 hp range. They are also 20lbs lighter than the Iron 3SGTE or 5SGTE. In Australia they have the Aurion which is the Australian Camry that they stuck a Eton TRD Supercharger on 325hp. The Lotus Evora Supercharged version is 345hp or Evora 400 is 400hp.

Anyways they bolt right up to a E153 MR2 2WD Transmission. MR2 guys do it all the time. I have seen a photo of one bolted to a E154F before somewhere on a forum. So anyone willing to do it or have done it? I seen on Instagram that a guy swapped a 2GRFE in a 6GC convertible already. So I know it's doable. This dude can make a plug and play harness for it. http://www.wiregapinc.com/pricing/

I found a motor for $700 out of a RAV4 the other day.

I want to see AWD 2GRFE.

The 1GRFE crank out of the Tacoma/FJ Cruiser/4Runner supposably swaps in the 2GRFE to make a 4.0L Stroker Motor. And if you swapped the 2URFSE direct injected heads off a IS350 or GS350. We might have a high power Hybrid Motor. Then you could go Crazy and Stick the TRD Aurion Supercharger or Lotus Supercharger on it. Power could be in the 450hp - 500hp range and the torque curve would be linear.

This could be the new swap to do rather than a 3SGTE plus parts are easy to come buy. 3SGTE parts are getting harder and harder to find these days.

Kind of a Newbe to the forum but hope to bring some life in the discussion page. I know my crap about Toyota's/Lexus's just need the funds to have fun with the knowledge. Haha Let me know if this has been discussed before?

WTB: I am looking for the whole rear AWD subframe.

I want to do the AWD conversion. So parts needed are Differential, Subframe, Control Arms and possibly Transmission.

I don't need drive shaft, gas tank, or floor pan.

I plan to do my own fabricated mounts, a fuel cell and a one piece aluminum drive shaft.

Let me know if anyone is willing to part with there ST205, ST185, ST165, Camry All-Trac SV25 Rear AWD parts. Thanks

I live in Utah. I also do shipping for a living so I could make it easy on you. I could email you a shipping Tag and all you have to do is take it to UPS store.

What do you want for hood and bumper?

I currently have GT-Four Spoiler Blocks and I got the last GT-Four Emblem from Toyota in the USA.

I am looking for a Hood and Bumper. I can get them from the UK or Japan through Yahoo Auctions but both have outrageous shipping price's to the US.

I currently Have a Guy in the UK that said that he could put 3 GT-Four bumpers together and ship them for around the same price at 1. Don't know if anyone is interested in a group buy?

The hook is a tough one because of its mass.

Let me know if anyone is willing to part ways with there GT-Four Body parts. I have cash in hand or in forum terms "paypal" ready.
